Colloquially known as Smelly Alley, this narrow pedestrianised street links Broad Street and Friar Street. It is home to mostly small, independent retailers, though you can also see the signage for two larger shops whose entrances are on Broad Street. The familiar name is a reference to the market traders selling meat, fish, fruit and vegetables.
